st: Christopher B. Winsten

Those who use or know about the Prais-Winsten
procedure implemented in the Stata command -prais-
may be interested to learn of the death last month of Professor
Winsten. A capsule biography in the spirit
of the vignettes in the Stata 9 manuals follows
my signature. (Graham Upton, University of Essex,
most helpfully supplied some crucial details.)
